No 1443 of Living Life Series 1
When we are in a rush, we cannot be at peace. When we try to do more in a given day, we will be rushing. We will have less peace.
When we are not at peace, we cannot think clearly. We do what we don't want to do and end up with no peace. We don't want to get worked up but we end up getting worked up. We don't want to spend money but end up spending as others could not help us.
We will do more of what we think there is no choice but what we did effectively adds to our problems. We will do what we should not do, such as wasting time and spending on what we cannot afford. Like comfort eating, comfort spending seems satisfying for now but create more problems down the road.
We end up creating problems when trying to solve problems. The problems of men are many and plentiful.
We cannot change the problem ways of others but that they create problems for us should not be excuse to create more problems for them as we end up having more problems as well.
Problems attract problems when we are not at peace and act or speak when we are not at peace. Why not keep silent, do nothing, speak nothing till we feel better and able to be at peace?
We can thus change ourselves even if we cannot change others. Trying to change others is often at times impossible. Keep the silence and any unrest will settle down.
Stir the mud and more mud we will have. Do nothing till mud settles down and there is clear water.
For the same reason, do not try to advice others when they are not at peace and worked up. It is like throwing water to a stirred up muddy pool. This will not make the water less muddy but make it more muddy for an even longer time.
The above is based on the various aspects of the truth that Bo Tien 武 天 says is in all religions, in any religion and also in life. This is the Inner Truth.
